Mailmandan does not actually believe 1 John 1:9 in what it says. He believes it is descriptive of true believers but these kinds of words are just a smokescreen to hide his license for immorality under God’s grace. Meaning, this: Believers in his camp (those who believe as he does) have stated...

So you believe God forces a person against their will to be a certain way their whole life and they can never fall away? Mailmandan does not believe a Christian can fall away from the faith even though the Bible teaches that in many places. Fall Away List of Verses: If we are never in jeopardy...

To all: Some in the “Perpetual Belief Alone Salvationism Camp” will try to use Matthew 7:15 against those of us who believe the Bible in living holy and not justifying sin while under God’s grace. Jesus says in Matthew 7:15, “They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are...

To all: They will of course deny my claims on their teaching that God's grace is a license for immorality (See: Jude 1:4). They will see my statements as false claims (or straw man arguments). But it is true. How so? Let me give you an example: There is a Christian I have known for many...

To all: Some will also attempt to say that verses like 1 John 1, and 1 John 2 is descriptive of changed believers who do not practice sin but yet they say that 1 John 1:8 is saying that they will always sin this side of Heaven in some way. Yet, they do not believe they lose their salvation if...

To all: Those who deny the words of Jesus before the cross (When it is not convenient for them to believe in them) do not believe the words of Paul when he said this: “If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine...

To all: Some think that the words of Jesus before the cross no longer apply because it was a different dispensation. But the same teaching by Jesus can be found by the apostle Paul, as well. While we are initially and ultimately saved by God's grace through faith in Christ, the Bible also...

God recently revealed to me why there appears to be a difference between Matthew 28:19 in baptizing in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, vs. the disciples baptizing in the name of Jesus (starting immediately at Pentecost). The name mentioned in Matthew 28:19 is singular and not...

To all: What was the reason why these types in Luke 13 were told to depart from the Lord? Did Jesus tell them that they did not believe on the finished work of the cross or that they did not believe in Him alone for salvation? No. Luke 13:27 “But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not...

To all: The idea of Luke 13:24 is that we are to STRIVE to enter the straight gate. In context, we read this: “Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast...

To all: Jesus said narrow is the way that leads unto life and FEW be there that find it (Matthew 7:14). Protestant Perpetual Belief Alone Salvationist churches fall under being the second largest branch of Christianity today (Coming in close to 1 billion adherents) with Catholicism being the...

No. 1 John 1:6 is a condition all on it's own to describe people who walk in darkness. 1 John 1:7 is a separate condition for those who are to walk in the light. Luke 13:24 says, Strive to enter the straight gate. But you don't believe these words by our Lord Jesus. Your belief claims that...

To all: Believers are to live up to the knowledge that they have obtained. There are 440 New Covenant commands in New Testament Scripture. Sin is transgression of the law (1 John 3:4). For example: Have you obeyed this command? Luke 14:12-14 “When you give a dinner (feast), call not your...

No offense, but this is how I see your approach here: I think you are confusing situations of God delivering His people because of their faithfulness to God vs. God's grace. Grace is unmerited favor. While I believe the atonement continues to be applied by our continued faithfulness (1 John...

Also consider that 1 Corinthians 15:10 teaches that grace gives us the ability to do the work, as well. 1 Corinthians 15:10 (KJB) “But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but...

I see it like this:

My apologies if my words were not as precise. I was speaking in reference to obedience as in our doing something like a work or in doing a particular laborious action, ceremony, etcetera (As a part of the Sanctification of the Spirit to live a holy life - after we are saved by God's grace). I...

Nope. If is a condition. If Rick shows up at Bob's house he will fix his bike. You are ignoring the Bible yet again. You don't like the word If in 1 John 1:7 and so it must be changed or altered, ignored, etcetera. Another poster on this thread said the word If does not exist. You each have...

So do you believe true genuine Christians are made to drink of one Spirit today according to 1 Corinthians 12:13?
